CRITIC REVIEWS
I was not excited to go into this thing, which is partly why I took so long to review it, but this album did really impress me. I never even once throughout a listen thought about Frank's vocals, and if you know my opinion on his vocals, that's a pretty great thing. Unlike his newer album, this just does everything else well, except for maybe instrumentation, as I was a bit underwhelmed in that regard. It also stayed really consistent throughout.

Fav Tracks: World Destroyer; 9-6-15; They Wanted Darkness...; I'll Let You Down; Dear Percocet, I Don't Think We Should See Each Other Anymore; Viva Indifference
Least Fav Track: Miss Me
